Timeline is great. Thanks to everyone for creating such a useful tool.

I'd like to have multiple starts and ends on one tape. I know that
this is partially available with the start, latestStart, earliestEnd,
end functionality, but I haven't seen anything beyond that. The event
JSON might look something like this:

{
  'dateTimeFormat': 'iso8601',
  'wikiURL': "http://simile.mit.edu/shelf/";,
  'wikiSection': "Simile Cubism Timeline",
  'events' : [
    'event0': {
      'title': 'Test 2d, durationEvent true, Start, latestStart, end dates',
      'description': 'Test 2d, durationEvent true, Start, latestStart,
end dates',
      'durationEvent' : true,
      'sections':[
        'section0':{
          'start': '1932',
          'end': '1940',
          'title': 'title of event0, section0',
          'description': 'desc of of event0, section0'
        },
        'section1':{
          'start': '1940',
          'end': '1944',
          'title': 'title of event0, section1',
          'description': 'desc of of event0, section1'
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Observe that each event is built of sections and each section has
start and end elements. This could be rendered as a single tape in a
Timeline with alternating light and dark sections (much like the
'Series' Painting tape appears in the Life of Monet example Timeline:
http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/tags/latest/src/webapp/examples/monet/monet.html)

Has anyone extended Timeline in this manner? It doesn't seem like that
it'd be an uncommon need. If anyone knows of something similar, please
let me know. If it seems that this hasn't been done, I'd appreciate
any pointers on how to modify Timeline to do this.

Thanks.

Matt
